Edito de The Music WithinWelcome to ?THE MUSIC WITHIN? my first CD. As a mostly self-taught, acoustic fingerstyle guitarist this CD is both a reflection of my musical ?roots? and an expression of the music I?m currently exploring and composing. There are several purely acoustic, solo fingerstyle tunes here ? just me, a guitar, and a couple of good mics. Some others are composed/arranged in the classic guitar/bass/drum trio style. Finally, others are orchestrated with a new instrument I?m exploring, the guitar synthesizer. I can finally play the music I ?hear in my head? and have it voiced as a sax, muted trumpet, string section etc . Amazing ! The Tunes The Awakening ? free form, dream like piece? welcome to the CD Jerry?s Tune ? classic fingerstyle, inspired by a Jerry Garcia tune Creepin? ? started as a chord progression and the rest just happened Sunday Morning ? wrote this as a solo fingerstyle piece several years ago. This was one of the first tunes I arranged for the synth? a favorite ! Pete?s Tune ? written years ago, from a Pete Seeger guitar riff Bassic Training ? I?ve recently discovered the electric fretless bass , love it ! Slippery When Wet ? started as a chord progression, always goes over well. Rain ? written years ago as a Windham Hill inspired acoustic solo piece. Now embellished with the guitar synth Swivel Hips ? takes a classic chord progression and adds what I hear in my head for a sexy, almost burlesque, melody Anji?s Cousin ? inspired by the classic ?Anji? by D. Graham , my musical roots on display here. Flat Top and Archy ? a piece to showcase the complementary voices of the Taylor acoustic and the Eastman Archtop (with a little synth thrown in) Plagiarism Blues ? written years ago also as a solo acoustic piece, just ?borrowed? a bunch of classic blues riffs, hence the title? now with the full ?band? Blues For b.b. ? inspired by some of BB King?s music, wish I had his touch and tone Modulation ? a simple but catchy melody, morphed thru different keys Simple Gifts ? a traditional Shaker folk song, simply played The Instruments & Gear Acoustic guitar (flat top) ?
